Hey friends! After a lot of thoughts going back and forth in my head, I've finally decided. I'm moving on from this place to develop even further. Another platform it is! Some of you noticed yesterday already and if you also want to continue to follow me on my journey known as life (and also see the result of the sneak peak from the post under) you should go check out my new site!

I can't even tell you how happy I am right this moment, and still I can't really believe it. A year ago I was living in a dream world. I made memories and friends for life and I cried tons when I had to leave. Don't get me wrong, Stockholm is the best city in the world, I love it here and I will never fully leave. But at the same time I never want to leave my beloved New York either! So when a planning date over Skype ended in booking a trip back, everything started feeling too good to be true. Do you understand the feeling? I'm finally going back!!

July. A month I hated and loved. The 1st of July my US time was over for real. I'm so happy I had my family with me on that trip, 'cause it wasn't as hard as it would've been otherwise. I can't believe how long ago this was, but I still remember it as yesterday. We had to stay in London on our way back and all I wanted was to go home. Finally in Sweden we went to the store and the first thing I saw was a huge pile of my favorite Swedish chocolate!! 4th of July was spent celebrating my birthday again, with an American theme of course. My parents went all in and even had clothes in the US colors.

I'm not a cake fan, but I've gotten the one on the picture every birthday in my life and I love it. It's mami's homemade, made extra special for my 20th birthday! I spent as much time as I could at my country house, hanging' out with grandma and soaking in the Swedish. I started working again and was the happiest girl alive when I finally got keys to the new apartment, I even slept in there before there were any furnitures!

Jag och Sophie började juni med att åka till Boston. Dock var jag supersjuk och kom knappt iväg, plus att vi lyckades tajma in Boston's kallaste 1 juni någonsin. Toppen! Jag fortsatte att gå till Central Park för de fina utsikterna, ensam eller inte så älskade jag det. Vi fortsatte också att bruncha naturligtvis och tiden i lägenheten var på något sätt helig. Jag älskade min lägenhet, mitt område, utsikten från balkongen, alla ljud som hördes, ja allt! Många mysiga kvällar blev det där.Me and Sophie started June with a trip to Boston. Although, I was really sick and had a hard time going there. On top of that we had such a bad timing, we went there on Boston's coldest 1st of June in the history.. I continued to go to Central Park for the views, alone or not I loved it. We also continued brunching of course and the time I spent in my apartment was in some way holy. I loved my apartment, the neighborhood, the view from my balcony, all the sounds you heard, everything! Many cozy evenings were spent there.

Nästan alla skulle åka hem igen i juni, så vi alla försökte ta tillvara på tiden så mycket det gick. Vi lyckades se på Dada Life på Lavo, vi träffade Paris Hilton (urgullig tjej) när hon var och DJade på TAO. Några av tjejerna fixade en hejdåfest på en bar och jag tror att vi alla bara njöt av att få spendera tid med varandra. Jag, Charley och Saskia hade turen att bo ganska nära varandra OCH bli bra vänner, så vi gick på promenader, hade filmkvällar eller bara myste tillsammans. Sista dagen tillsammans gick jag, Charley och Sophie en sväng med en kamera och fotobombade. Almost everyone was going home in June, so we all just tried to do as much as we could the last time. We got the chance to see Dada Life at Lavo, we also met Paris Hilton (such a sweet girl) when she was DJing at TAO. Some of the girls had a goodbye-party at a bar and I think we all just enjoyed spending time with each other. Me, Charley and Saskia had the luck of living close to each other AND becoming close friends, so we went on walks, had movie nights or just chilled together. The last day me, Charley and Sophie went for a walk with a camera and photo bombed.

Everyone has commented the cold weather at work today. Even if I agree that it's cold, me and a guest talked about how we all probably sound like "those silly people from Stockholm" to the people living more north, since they have it like this longer and are probably used to it too. Although, it was cold inside today too and during my really calm shift I thought of so many different ways to get warm.. I'm also running around on the streets without gloves since I can't find mine. Today I'm longing to my summers at Gotland! For you who don't know how cold it's been here today I can tell you that the temperature lies at -14° C/ 6°F and it's only getting colder this weekend..

I maj hann vi med att göra mycket roligt! Till att börja med sprang jag alltid förbi Starbucks innan jag skulle någonstans. Jag hängde en hel del med Sophie, vi gjorde bland annat en turistrunda i Central Park, åkte till det lilla samhället Cold Spring en dag, gick på brunchfester i superfina lokaler och gick ut med Charley också.In Maywe had time to do a lot of fun things! For starters I always went to Starbucks before going anywhere. I also spent a lot of time with Sophie, we did a home made tourist tour in Central Park, we went to Cold Spring one day, went on brunch parties in lovely places and also went out with Charley.

En dag drog vi till Brooklyn, åt pizza och drack öl, kikade på vår fina stad och tog polaroidbilder på stranden. En stormig men varm dag brunchade vi i flera timmar på 230 Fifth Rooftop med utsikt över Empire. Jag hann med att gå på musikal med Joris och Charley en kväll, gick runt på Times Square och tog bilder. På Memorial Day var vi lediga och åkte till stranden och hängde hela dagen. All övrig tid spenderades med en iskaffe/islatte ute i solen, ofta Central Park. One day we went to Brooklyn, ate pizza and drank beer, had a nice glimpse of our beautiful city and took polaroids at the beach. A stormy but warm day we had brunch for hours at 230 Fifth Rooftop with a view over Empire. I had time to go on a musical with Joris and Charley one evening, we strolled around Times Square and took pictures too. On Memorial Day we had the day off and went to the beach all day. All other time I spent with iced coffee/iced latte in the sun, often in Central Park.

Today we decided to go to our house at the countryside. We wanted to move some furnitures and thought it would be great now when I have started to get weekends off. It sounded really tempting to go there now in this winter weather too, so we dragged grandma along, why not! We usually don't go there in the winters, so one in the gang (yes, me) didn't really think about how to dress.. Rubber boots with lining weren't quite right in this weather, so I ran inside every now and then to warm up next to the heater. After a long and warm shower I'm in bed, such a good Saturday! Now: Les Miserable

Januari var årets planeringsmånad, jag överlevde inte utan kalendern. // I februari försökte jag ta tillvara på mina lediga dagar med långa, mysiga frukostar bland annat. // I mars fotade vi hemma i huset. Det var dessutom månaden som jag började säga hejdå till alla vänner och släktingar. January was the month of planning, I didn't survive without my calendar! // In February I tried to start my days off with long and cozy breakfasts. // In March we had a photoshoot at home. It was also the month that I started to say bye to all of my friends and family.

I slutet på mars blev jag skjutsad av familjen och bästis till Arlanda. Med tårar i ögonen sa jag hejdå och flög mot mitt största äventyr någonsin. Jag fick upp ögonen för norra Central Park redan första dagen och älskade livet direkt. Hann även med en sväng förbi Empire State Building första skoldagen. In the end of March I got a ride from my family and bestie to the airport in Stockholm. With tears in my eyes I said goodbye and flew towards the biggest adventure in my life. The first day in New York I walked through north Central Park and loved it from the start, I loved life already. I also had time to take a snap of Empire State Building the first day of school.

I april tog vi en sväng upp på Top of the Rock för den fina utsikten, jag vågade mig dessutom ut på springturer i Central Park flera gånger i veckan, där jag fick se härliga solnedgångar vid the Reservoir. Vi åkte på en weekend i Washington för att se körsbärsblommorna och måndagarna på Calico, där vi träffade folk från skolan, tog fart. In April we went to Top of the Rock for the beautiful view, I also started to go out running in Central Park a few times a week, where I got to see the most amazing sunsets at the Reservoir. We went on a weekend to Washington to see the cherry blossoms and the Mondays at Calico, where we met people from school, started out to be fun.
